I had a right hip replacement performed by Dr. Balkissoon five years after my left hip was replaced by another surgeon. Based on my earlier experience, I was expecting an arduous recovery and rehab. I couldn't have been more wrong. Dr. Balkissoon did a fabulous job and my recovery was smooth and rapid. Not only that, but he is a very caring practitioner who takes as much time to explain and discuss your questions as you need. I would recommend him without reservation.

Dr. Balkissoon replaced my left hip three months ago. I quickly was able to walk, and by four weeks was slowly building distance. I already can ramble four to seven miles at a time. All I can say is “What he did really worked”.

Dr. Balkissoon is a wonderful surgeon and patient advocate. He takes the time to explain things in detail and helps patients to understand all their options. He also lets patients ask questions and listens to them. He makes his patients feel comfortable and valued. He performed knee replacement surgery on me and I am finally pain free and able to do all of my favorite activities once again. I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Balkissoon and his NP Jayne Cooper. They are wonderf

I originally saw Dr. Balkissoon when getting a second opinion and I am so glad that I did! At the other othro practice, I felt like the only thing the Dr wanted to do was operate. When I started seeing Dr. Balkissoon that all changed. Dr Balkissoon spent a lot of time with me educating me regarding why I was having pain and reviewing my options. Dr. Balkissoon always treated me like an individual and not just another patient that needed surgery. I am now pain free after a total hip replacement.

Dr. Balkissoon is a very caring and skilled physician. I needed a knee replacement, and as I have Parkinson's, the surgery and recovery was complicated. Dr. Balkissoon did a fantastic job with the surgery, and he and his PA have been top notch through my recovery.

I required a complete right hip replacement in May 2016, after 5 yrs+ of constant pain. From the very beginning I felt that Dr Balkissoon really cared...and he REALLY does!! His bedside manner is A+ By following his recommendations, I now have NO PAIN and full freedom of movement, with very few limitations. My husband and I are very happy, no, WE ARE DELIGHTED!! to have found such a competent a surgeon. Highly recommended: 5 stars.
